Chicago fans, although apallcd at the startling strength of Kentucky'

Stagg's own team for accepting the three points. The umpire argued long
with the referee but the latter only said: "I'm referee of this game and
my decision is final." The stands yelled, "We want a fair deal" but the score
still read at the end of the first hnlt: Chicago 3, Kentucky 0.
And that's that.

SMITH OUTKICKED HIS OPPONENTS
Frank Smith outdid even Rouse and Kernwein when it came to
punting, sending his spirals for an average of about 15 yards. On two
occasions, he kicked 55 yards nnd materially aided Kentucky's offense
after Chicago had been held for downs at critical moments of the game.
The Associated Press report on the game said that "Smith, Kentucky
halfback, was Chicago's chief stumbling block."

We are informed by reliable parties that Saturday was the third time
in four years that Chicago had failed to score in the first quarter against
their opponent in the opening gome.

KENTUCKIANS ARE POPULAR
It was estimated that 33,000 persons saw the game. It was the largest
opening day crowd in the history of the University of Chicago and 15,000
larger than the pne that viewed the first game on the schedule, that with
Missouri, last year. This attests the popularity of the Kentuckians, who
it is expected, will take a little trip to Chicago for the. same purpose next
year.

call out an extra traffic cop to handle the overflow of Kentucky dust laden
